8/17/17, Cathy Burgess and Monica Butta, Weekend Meals Program

Cathy Burgess and Monica Butta spoke to us about the weekend meals program Food for Thought, which is overseen by the Assistance Center of Towson Churches (ACTC). There are 15 partner organizations serving 130+ students. The volunteer effort and structure for this project are prodigious.

Xinyu Shou and Saad Fakhar reported on the Key Club International Convention in San Antonio, TX, in July 2017. They visited the Alamo, enjoyed the Riverwalk, and then participated in many workshops at the convention. The Key Club International’s new project is THIRST, an effort to provide clean water for those in need. Our Key Club Governor, Megan Richards, Division 15A, announced her special project: Pay It Forward. The focus of this project is to help at homes for the elderly, to improve the lives of the residents. We discussed Warren Apartments as a possible target for this project. Cindy and Saad both are informative and articulate, and are excellent representatives for DHS Key Club.
